The Hofmann rearrangement (Hofmann degradation) is the organic reaction of a primary amide to a primary amine with one less carbon atom. [1] [2] [3] The reaction involves oxidation of the nitrogen followed by rearrangement of the carbonyl and nitrogen to give an isocyanate intermediate.
Amide reduction is a reaction in organic synthesis where an amide is reduced to either an amine or an aldehyde functional group. [1] [2]
Reaction of arene with isocyanate catalysed by aluminium trichloride, formation of aromatic amide. Ritter reaction [28] Alkenes, alcohols, or other carbonium ion sources Secondary amides via an addition reaction between a nitrile and a carbonium ion in the presence of concentrated acids. Photolytic addition of formamide to olefins [29] Terminal ...
The hydroamination reaction is approximately thermochemically neutral. The reaction however suffers from a high activation barrier, perhaps owing to the repulsion of the electron-rich substrate and the amine nucleophile. The intermolecular reaction also is accompanied by highly negative changing entropy, making it unfavorable at higher ...
The reaction between the carbonyl and amine are in equilibrium, favouring the carbonyl unless water is removed from the system. reduction-sensitive intermediates may form in the reaction which can affect chemoselectivity. The amine substrate, imine intermediate, or amine product might deactivate the catalyst. Acyclic imines have E/Z isomers.
In organic chemistry, the Schmidt reaction is an organic reaction in which an azide reacts with a carbonyl derivative, usually an aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic acid, under acidic conditions to give an amine or amide, with expulsion of nitrogen.
Transamidation is a chemical reaction in which an amide reacts with an amine to generate a new amide: RC(O)NR' 2 + HNR" 2 → RC(O)NR" 2 + HNR' 2. The reaction is typically very slow, but it can be accelerated with Lewis acid [1] and organometallic catalysts. [2] Primary amides (RC(O)NH 2) are more amenable to this reaction.
Another common example is the reaction of a primary amine or secondary amine with a carboxylic acid or with a carboxylic acid derivative to form an amide. This reaction is widely used, especially in the synthesis of peptides. On the simple addition of an amine to a carboxylic acid, a salt of the organic acid and base is obtained.
